Finding Rural

Maybe you clicked on a pin and came over from my Pinterest board.. or you're a blogger who's dropping by, or you're curious about what Rural is.

Rural is not just a place in the heart, it's for those who...

...have an innate love of the mountains, the outdoors, and the joys of gardening, it's all about our connection with nature.

Rural is the moment that the setting sun glides with a golden glow across the fading fields, while the birds sing from the branches, and the bugs buzz around your head.

It's in that deep breath you just took.

Rural is the bumps under the wheels of a bike travelling down the backcountry road, and the startle of a pheasant calling from the underbrush.

It's in the marvelling of the intricate craftsmanship of a bird's nest, and the unfurling of a fern.

Rural is in the crunch of hiking boots on gravelly rocks as we travel up the mountain path, breath measured, legs working hard.

Rural...because your heart lives here...

Until now I've managed to avoid becoming a "word for the year" kind of person Staying away from any places where there might be talk about choosing your "word for the upcoming year" or situations that might possibly make "the word" part of my life...of course, well meaning friends would say..." oh, you have to get a word, it will change your life. We can't believe how much we love our "word" it's great having one." Right...ah ha... And it's only for a year. Sure it is...once you start....it's a slippery slope. To me "the word" is like going into a pet store when you have absolutely no intention of bringing home that cute cat in the window... The next thing you know.. Yo...

If A Tree Falls

There's a phrase that reads... If a tree falls in the forest........ And no one is there. .... Will anyone hear it? Writing blog posts can feel like that at times... If I write it... Does anyone read it? Should I bother, is it even worth it? Then I realized....a blog post is like a tree in the forest. If it's been written, someone will read it and even if they don't leave a comment it's still be...
